1) don't wipe the drive yet! you can easily backup the HD to any other PC with Symantec Ghost and even a laplink compatible parallel cable first. 2) You can install win98 over again to see if that'll fix everything, but here's a trick. under dos, you can rename the program files (progra~1) and windows (windows) directories to something like proold and winold. Install Win98 fresh and you can boot and pull everything off. If needed, you can try to repair the other win98 install with the working one, then delete the new or old win98/program directory depending on your results. 3) Backup to CD-R discs often! Symantec Ghost or Powerquest Drive Image are highly recommended. You can easily restore from these backups in minutes when your PC goes bad in the future. 4) If you're in Los Angeles, let me know and I can help in person. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:02:15 EST > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LIB] HELP! > > Thanks Matt, > Well it stalls in safe mode as well so I am stuck in DOS. > I am still holding out hope for saving the contents of my drive, at least > till I can back up what I need. > I ran scandisk and all is well there so here it sit. > I loaded the backups of the registry and that did not work much to my > surprise. > I may have to get pro help as it is the only PC I have. > Thanks Bill > > > > ************************************************************** > http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list > http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives > > -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- > Reply to any of the list messages.
